Fast-paced, people-first, and full of growth — genuinely the best job I’ve had
Pros
- Growth - From the beginning, I was paired with leaders who coached me properly (not just managed me). There’s structure around progression, weekly check-ins that actually happen, and a focus on real feedback — not just performance. The company is growing and there are amazing opportunities to grow with it. - The team culture is unreal - Everyone here cares about doing a good job, but also about each other. There is no ego or political games, and plenty of good banter. The team rhythms keep everyone connected without being too “corporate.” - I was trusted to do real work - From early on, I was given ownership of client conversations & technical work. There was plenty of support but they also expected that we step up which made me feel valued and that my contribution counts. - The bar is set high in a good way - Everyone I work with is sharp, thoughtful, and generous with their knowledge; I'm surrounded by people who genuinely want to do great work and help me do the same. - Clear expectations & no surprises - I knew what success looked like in your role from the start. There are progression plans, weekly coaching, and regular feedback loops so if something’s not working, it’s surfaced and tackled quickly - Perks - We get most “First Fridays” off as a company-wide wellness day which is on top of annual leave, plus fortnightly team lunches, top-tier tech, and an awesome office to work from.
Cons
- The learning curve is steep and it’s not a place to coast - Especially in the first few weeks, there's a lot to absorb — new systems, processes, rhythms, and client expectations. There’s heaps of support, but it can feel intense until things click. If you’re someone who prefers to be told exactly what to do everyday or just wants to clock in and out, Pivot’s probably not the right fit. The pace is quick, and you’re expected to take ownership of your work. - Structure can feel overwhelming at first - It’s super useful and well-intentioned, but if you're someone who prefers an extremely freeform environment, it might feel a bit rigid. - You have to manage your energy - The work is meaningful and the clients are very ambitious so that also means their expectations are high. Some weeks are full-on, and you need to be intentional about asking for support when needed. - Not everything is figured out yet. The business is growing fast, and with that comes change. Sometimes things move before the process is fully fleshed out an you have to be okay with a little ambiguity and be ready to help build the plane while flying it.
